Re: SB6120 Firmware Updated (7/19/12) said by whamel:Whatever, at all costs,avoid the SB2120. The SB6120, not 2120. And I have had an SB6120 for a couple years now. One I bought at Radio Shack.

With theSB6120, I couldn't even get internet to just post this reply to you. If I understand your statements, the SB6120 is your own modem, and at this point you really don't know if your current connectivity problem is with your connection or with your modem. My suggestion would be to temporarily get a Comcast rental modem, and then it would be their responsibility to fix the connection (if the rental modem itself does not fix the problem). After that, you can hassle with Motorola for a replacement modem (if the SB6120 still has problems). -- We can never have enough of nature.

 | reply to GmDude66 I just rebooted my modem tonight and got the update:
Model Name: SB6120 Vendor Name: Motorola Firmware Name: SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.6-SCM00-NOSH Boot Version: PSPU-Boot 1.0.0.4m1 Hardware Version: 1.0 |

 | reply to GmDude66 I was having some issues a few weeks ago along that went along with the neighborhood moving to the new digital format that was numerous modem re-boots and loss of internet.
I had a tech out and he was blaming the modem and I told him that this is crazy and that there is nothing wrong with it. Now I see that I have a firmware update and it seems to be stable. |

 | reply to sava700 Those speed increases will be mentioned here »[Speed] Northeast speed changes coming.. and updated as customers report in upon recieving it. |

 | reply to whamel Lemons happen but theres a reason why its a really popular modem series, because aside from those lemons, they work hard and consistant. |
|
 | reply to Mike Wolf I know I posted there too but just noting it - seems they are very slow rolling it out when they said a week in the release. |

| reply to cc_ryder its quite possible that the upload speed issue you're having has nothing to do with the firmware of the modem or even the modem itself, it really could be an issue outside your house with the signal levels, with the splitters, or even the cabling itself as they can go bad overnight. Your best bet is to schedule a line technician to come out and check outside the lines. Be careful because sometimes when your asking for a technician they send out an installer instead and they sometimes they don't have the training or equipment to do the actual testing on the pole. |

| reply to gsxxr1300 In the beginning of my time with Comcast as my ISP I was using their rented RCA modem and was getting slower then 768k download speeds and had a tech come out and he was blaming the modem too, turns out after I made a series of calls to the phone techs and the purchasing of my own modem, they sent the wrong configuration file to the modem all along which was corrected within ten minutes. |

You can't call in and schedule a "line technician", and even if you could, that would not be the appropriate first step. The best first step for cc_ryder would be to follow the instructions at the top of this forum on how to get help and create a new topic specific to their issue.

 | well of course, it was assumed that those steps were already taken and the issue remained  |

 JPnATL join:2011-11-16 Bethlehem, GA | reply to cc_ryder Does anybody know how or where I can get rid of this firmware update? |
|
 | Another cable provider. There isn't a way to remove the firmware update because Comcast rolls out the firmware nationwide at some point or another, and possibly eventually other ISP's will as well. |

This is why their *standard operating procedure* is that only a premises facing tech can escalate an issue to the line / network / maintenance dept. techs. |
